Updating an Excel file and then send it via email - Lag Issue

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 1

I have a flow that triggers off of a form submission that among other things, updates an excel file with the new information. I want the flow to send a copy of the new version to the person submitting the form, but I've run into an issue where the email is sending the previous version of the file. I suspected I needed to allow time for the form to save/sync in Sharepoint, but I've tried adding a delay, but I'm worried about giving too much time in case another instance of the flow is initiated soon after and overwrites the data. I currently have a delay of 2 minutes and sometimes it updates before the email is sent and sometimes doesn't.

 

Does anyone know a better way to ensure the flow emails the correct version of the file?
